The back lights will blink fast cuz the comptuer thinks that one of your bulbs is out..so it blinks fast to tell the driver that it is...
If you have a multimeter probe the wires..and see which one has fluctuating voltage...if your resistor is not wired into that then ya...wire it into it..best I can explain I fail at writing up how tos

I put my resistors in last night and the hyperflash stopped. i hooked it to the blue wire and the black wire on the turn signal harness. polarity doesn't matter, and if you got the resistors with the bulbs, then most likely they're the right ones. ur prob just on the wrong wires

there is a black one and a dark brown one that looks like light black. you might have hooked it to that one by accident. i almost did!
